He offers so much, and we often just don't care

Today's Readings:
Exodus 31-33
Matthew 22:1-22

“The Kingdom of Heaven can be illustrated by the story of a king who prepared a great wedding feast for his son. When the banquet was ready, he sent his servants to notify those who were invited. But they all refused to come!" (Matthew 22:2-3)

One of the dangers I knew would come up when I began this blog thing is that as I read through the Bible there was going to be some difficult passages. Not difficult to understand, but difficult to write about, because they are so darn convicting and at times...

...well if you are reading, you get it :-)

Today I read Matthew 22:1-22 and Exodus 31-33 (Please read these). There is a pattern that presents itself, not just in these verses, but throughout the Bible where God offers people so much and they often just don't care. They turn and go their own way. They get impatient (so very quickly) and decide to do their own thing. God offers us a banquet, a feast of fine food, and we settle for rice cakes and cafeteria burger.

Lord, I ask that we all would see what you offer and that we might trust, follow, and at times wait on you...you are too great to be ignored.

And the love you showed on the cross....

well may it be the one thing I never turn away from.
